The Importance of Hair in Our Image

Hair is one of the key elements of your image, making a first impression and reflecting your personality and style. But in today's world, hair loss has become a very common problem, affecting more than 85% of the population by the age of 50. Losing more than 100 strands of hair a day becomes a cause for concern and hair loss negatively affects your self-confidence.

Along with aging, many other factors can trigger hair loss, depending on your lifestyle. Genetics, hormonal imbalances, malnutrition, medications, stress, harmful hair products and pollution are some of the reasons experts consider. Therefore, when the underlying cause is diagnosed and treated properly, there is a possibility that hair loss will stop and hair will regrow.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgery in which hair follicles are taken from the donor area and transplanted to the bald part of the scalp, the recipient area. Various advanced tools and technologies such as scalpels or punch graft instruments are used to perform the surgery. The extracted hair follicles are then inserted into the small holes of the recipient area. Hair transplantation is very successful and there is growing evidence among people who need natural-looking hair.

Am I the Right Candidate for Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a personalized procedure and may not be suitable for everyone. Before making a decision, it is necessary to seek help from experts and be advised on the most suitable treatment method for your needs.

There are a few things you should keep in mind before deciding to have a hair transplant operation:

• Eligible candidates should have healthy hair growth in the donor area on the back and sides of the head.
• Hair color and texture can affect the cosmetic result.
• It is important to understand that you will never have the coverage you had before your hair loss, but surgery can camouflage thin areas and give you more fullness.
• If you are deciding on a hair transplant operation with realistic expectations, you may be a good candidate for hair transplantation if you are physically fit and have no health problems that may affect recovery.

Hair Transplantation Techniques

What is the FUE Technique?

The FUE technique, which started to be used in the early 2000s, has produced very successful and satisfactory results. The most important difference of FUE hair transplantation method compared to previous hair transplantation methods is that the hair follicles in the nape area are collected one by one without creating a linear incision. In the graft collection process, small incisions are made around the follicular unit using small punch tips, hair follicles are collected one by one and transplanted to the area where hair loss occurs. Since there is no incision in the donor area in the hair transplantation procedure performed with the FUE method, there is no need for stitches and therefore no permanent scar is formed.

What is the DHI Technique?

The DHI technique, which is applied with a special pen, is a direct hair transplantation application and is also known as the Choi pen technique or unshaven hair transplantation. Although it is basically based on the FUE technique, DHI hair transplantation is considered to be a partially new hair transplantation technique. The biggest difference with FUE is that in DHI hair transplantation, there is no need to open a canal before transplanting the hair follicles. In hair transplantation performed with the DHI Choi pen technique, the grafts taken from the donor area are directly transplanted into the recipient area.

What is the Sapphire FUE Technique?

The hair transplantation technique known as the sapphire technique is actually a characterization of the FUE method with sapphire hair transplantation blades. Sapphire needle tips vary between 0.8 - 1.5 mm, but the specific size is adjusted according to the hair structure of each patient.

Which Hair Transplant Method is Right for Me?

Whether FUE, DHI, or Sapphire hair transplant techniques, FUE is the most common and least invasive hair transplant technique among professionals and patients today. Although the decision regarding any method will be made under the guidance of your doctor, all necessary details of your case should be analyzed and shared.

Post-Operative Expectations

How Long Does it Take to See Results After a Hair Transplant?

It is very important to note that two to eight weeks after the procedure, all of the transplanted hair will fall out. This is normal and expected.
